Safe House Ldn was created by long-standing Hackney resident Bisola Popoola after witnessing issues that troubled her local area. Ranging from gang activity to the lack of resources for local community residents.
Suicide is the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK. Let that sink in. Mind charity state that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year, and in England, 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week.
For a while I had wanted to launch a conversational series in the ATIKA sofa area in store. It was on International Women's Day that I launched 'Conversations By ATIKA.'
I created ‘You’re more than your day job’ after being surrounded by so many talented and hard working people. They not only work on their own projects, but also work part-time or full time along the side. It’s something I felt had to be talked about and celebrated. I’m excited about launching this and introducing members of the ATIKA team, their talents and side hustles.
